How to Draw Shen, Kung Fu Panda

Step 1.


Begin by drawing a really small circle for the head of Shen, and then make another circle for the body. You will add a neck line which will also connect the two shapes, and then move to step two.

Step 2.


Sketch out the shape of the peacocks head, and then draw out the neck all the way down to the base of the body. Notice how the neck flares out in shape as you go further down.

Step 7.


Here is what your drawing looks like when you are done. Color him in, and then you have just drawn Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2.

Po and his Kung Fu fighting buddies go against the likes of a peacock that is the main antagonist. You will be learning "how to draw Shen", step by step with today’s first tutorial. Also known as Lord Shen, he is the next one in line to rule over Gongmen City. I have not yet seen the film, but I think I may be going to the movies this week. I didn’t want to research too much on this character because it would have gave me a hint as to what Kung Fu Panda 2 is about. Instead I will teach you guys "how to draw Shen", that way there we are all in the same boat. If you have already watched this movie, please don’t tell us any details. Although it would be cool to know if it’s worth buying a ticket for. Anyways, have fun guys and be sure to let me know how you liked this lesson. Adios peeps, and enjoy the drawing day!
